This property has been on Booking.com since Jul 26, 2012.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

Be candid. Give us your honest opinion. We’ll never remove a review just because it’s negative. We promise.

Be relevant. The best reviews provide constructive information that helps other travelers make better choices. Stay on topic and avoid content that others might find offensive.

Sometimes we'll remove reviews if they include any of the following:

Objectionable material. This includes insulting or discriminatory remarks, swearing, or other offensive language.

Private information. To protect your (and others') privacy we do not display reviews that include email addresses or phone numbers.

Sensitive information. We don't display reviews that contain information with possible legal implications. This includes references to suspected illegal conduct or allusions to lost or stolen items. In such sensitive cases, please contact our Customer Service Team, who will be happy to help.

Irrelevant topics. This includes promotional content and politically sensitive subjects.

In some rare cases, neither the written review nor the review score can be displayed. This only happens if:

Key information is missing. A few review questions are mandatory. If these aren’t answered, we aren't able to calculate a fair review score, so we can't display the review.

You didn’t stay at the property. When necessary, we’ll confirm this information with both you and the property owner.

You made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. We won’t post yours. If you reviewed a different property from the one you booked, let us know. We can fix it so that your review shows with the right property.

The review is a fake. If there's any indication that a review is not authentic or is in any way fraudulent, it will be flagged during the moderation process.

Breakfast was repetitive..could do with variety.
One staff member thought that it was a privilege for me to speak to her. Was on the verge of telling her that I was one of the people who pays her wage.

Room was good, location as well. They were very kind to accomodate me as i had to move in 1 day early due to problems with my arriving hotel.

Be aware that the hotel owners are so eager to demand for money for any possible item.
If you have a single room and someone comes to you for a short visit, less than an hour, then they charge you for a double room. They mean that the room has been used of two persons, even if the bed is 110 cm and there is only one set towel and one set sheet in the room.
Breakfast is very limited. If you drink more than one cup of coffee with your breakfast, well it costs extra as well.

Close to the city center, around 15 minutes to go.
Nice reception, corridors and stairs.

I have stayed at Hotel California 4 times. They claim at accept credit cards but always say the system is down. Like most of Ukraine, always bring cash. Also, a transfer from the Airport through the Hotel was 350 UAH. A cab cost me 60 UAH.

Nice and quiet rooms. The ladies at the front desk speak English.

Staff was very bad. You always feel bad when you are something from the staff - both front staff and restaurant staff.
Hotel refused to accept any credit/debit card payment, saying temporary connection issues, but that was the same for all guests, checking-out on different time and different days.
Room cleanness was average, you should expect more from 4*.
Even it looks hotel is in the middle of everything, but it is actually close to nothing. As taxi driver said, hotel is in a place, "forgotten by the god". You will need taxi to go to beach, market, Arkadia, clubs, anywhere.

Very nice interior, room was small, but nice. Paid low price, so its good value for money.

The staff was not so friendly and the hotel bar was really bad. Location of the hotel is "about nothing" - not far from the main bars street, still you have to go there through dark streets, there is nothing in the area of the hotel (no worth to visit bars or restaurants where to eat nearby), the sea is quite far away from there.

Nice rooms, comfortable beds, good breakfast

I haven't found a Ukrainian hotel that uses a box spring mattress. This was the best bed I've had in Ukraine, but I miss my pillow top at home.

The hotel is elegant. The room was very nice. Only shower in Ukraine I've found that is not significantly higher than the floor. Breakfast is great. The front desk is very helpful. Wifi is strong. It is located in a nice area, with a good open air Italian restaurant around the corner.

Room was small. Restaurant was closed due to seminar use. Breakfast included opens at 7:30 am instead of 6:00 am so I could not get my breakfast.
